Any good ones coming out this year?

The only two I'm looking forward to is the Gladiators, just b/c I remember watching them as a young kid, and the Terminator.

I'm worried about the Terminator b/c it appears is not going to be nearly as good as it should be.

Gluvs Scrubs is my favorite show on television. Having said that I was really disappointed with the two shows last night.

You want to watch the best Scrubs episodes?

Watch My Giggli Ball, I love the ending to that one.

My old Lady another sad one.

I can't think of the name of it, but the last one Brandon Fraser is on, another great one.

and finally, probably the best one of them all; My Fallen Idol.

I thought it was alright. The acting was great. The last episode needed some rewriting though. I hated the way it ended. X-(

Finally watched Doctor Who S.4, just finished last night. What a ride. Donna didn't annoy me as much as she did in the Christmas special she first appeared in, but the 2 or 3 episodes that were focused so heavily on her drove me a little batty. Maybe it's just the actress, I dunno.

Anyway, now I'm current and can watch the new episodes as they come out on SciFi. Yay!

I watched Scurbs when it first came out then started losing interest as the Thursday night lineup on NBC started losing steam and they started rotating in shows and flip-flopping time slots, etc.

I really liked it, though, and mean to add the seasons to my netflix queue one of these days. The only sitcom I'll ever BUY on DVD set is Seinfeld.

I know I"m a bit late on this...

but I recently discovered Scrubs

That show is PHENOMENAL. From what I undestand..there's about 5 seasons total now. Anyone know if they're still producing new shows ?

The Scrubs' cast brings so much to the table....there's not one funny guy that makes the show, each character can carry the show for an episode or two - easily.

Anyone else a fan ?

1.5 of the 3 star rating I give that show is because of Walter's lines......dude cracks me up. Actually Josh Jackson does a pretty good job too.

I've liked Fringe since the start, Steve. There were a couple of facts you have to overlook, like the guy's lab being intact and technologically usable after being away for 17 years. But, overall, I like it.

FOX is moving Sarah Connor Chronicles to Friday night it looks like, pairing it with Joss Whedon's new show: DOLLHOUSE. I'm not sure if that Friday night slot is the kiss of death for both shows or not. SCI-FI network's Friday night lineup does well, but I think SCI-FI doesn't expect the big numbers FOX will.

Saw the next to last episode of True Blood again yesterday.

GREAT episode... I have to say, I effing loved the super ultra christian redneck chic getting turned and in turn, upon realizing she was a vampire, embracing every single repressed feeling she could've possibly had. With a serious tone: "no more mom and dad, no more little sister?" now excited: "no more church, clarinets!!!?!?!" "I can curse! Shit, FUCK...thats a bad one"..."I can kill?? There are so many people I want to kill!"...

And Lafayette talking to the guy running for Congress (who sounded an aweful lot like a bible belt republican campaigning) was funny as shit too...

She goes thru a lot of men rather quickly. Her father must have left her with a lot of insecurities while he was training Dexter to be a serial killer.

No, I don't think it was him. Unless I missed it, which is possible.

Bubba = Elvis Presley. He was brought over but it didn't take right so he's a little off. They call him Bubba because calling him Elvis disturbs him LOL. He gets sent by Eric to relay messages to Sookie from time to time and act as her protector of sorts.

I was kinda thinking in Season 1 that they were doing some foreshadowing to Deb having a relationship with Doakes. Particularly, the episode she goes home with him and talks shit with his mother and sisters.

I liked the FBI guy, the age difference didn't bother me and I liked that he had a somewhat calming effect on her.

I'm gapping on her name, but I'm guessing he's referring to his brief relationship with the psycho woman aka his sponsor in the program Rita forced him into.
